K. Input
= K. present prior to activity
K. Output
= K. present in output as a result of activity
K. Goal
= K. which directs and constrains the activity
K. Resource
= K. which acts on the Input to produce the
Output
Underlying Model:
Change, Knowledge, and
Value are Proportionate
P
X
Y
Input
Output
P(X) = YFundamental assumptions:1. If X = Y, NO value has been added.2. “Value” is proportional to “ Change”3. “Change” can be measured by the Amount of
Knowledge required to make the change.So “Value” is proportional to “Change” which isproportional to “ the Amount of Knowledge required tomake the change”
